I've been picking up insects for as long as I can remember. I spent 22 years working in Veterinary medicine ending as the Zoological Companion Animal Medicine Technician at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in 2014.

I moved to Tennessee in 2014 and never looked back. We live on a lake in a small town with wonderful flora and fauna to explore. As much as my health allows I am out and about playing with nature and sharing it with anyone I can corner long enough to listen to me.

Animal husbandry is my passion and hobby. I spent years teaching people how to care for their pet store exotics properly. Learning and teaching about the care of animals and inverts is still something I love to do.
